We visited last weekend and walked around and right away sensed that there's no community "appeal," just rows and rows of walls, and the parks look like afterthoughts instead of the grand feel that has characterized most TIC communities. I think TIC made a big mistake scrapping the original plan with the grand entrance going straight to the main park/clubhouse area with the nicely landscaped pedestrian path linking the two pocket parks. That would have made a nice walking path for the residents who might have let the community amenities let them overlook some of the disadvantages of the homes themselves which are carbon copies of SG and WB and have shared upstairs bathroom in $1M+ homes. With the original plan, residents could have walked the length of the community every day along a nicely landscaped quiet interior walkway from one pocket park to the main park to the other pocket park thereby connecting all four neighborhoods, but with the new plan as constructed, there's no way to walk the length of the neighborhood except for a long boring noisy walk along the busy entrance street, and it seems like there's no community feel, just rows and rows of walls separating the four neighborhoods. The two smaller neighborhoods are so far from the main park that they really feel like they are "on the wrong side of the tracks" whereas the original plan had a nice pocket park for them and easy walking access to the main park. It could have been a really nice community as originally planned even with the recycled floorplans but looks like greed and squeezing in a few extra houses got in the way.
